The commercialized Li ion batteries use graphite as the anode material where energy storage capacity and low elemental abundance of Li are the limiting factors. Therefore our lab focuses on finding alternate anode materials offering higher discharge capacities like Sn, Si, P based alloying materials etc. for Li, Na and K- ion batteries. The recent paper highlights our work (Electrochem. Sci. Adv., 2021, e2100019)on Sn based anode material for Li ion battery.
